  1. Agred, sort it out Kraft, get your motha fuzzing best flavours out in the UK now. Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt, Bubble, GIVE ME IT YEAH!
  2. Bitchy people. Come on, put down that facade and say how you really feel instead of pretending you're this really nice person when you're not.
  3. Great report Daniel, and I think those are some excellent pictures.Blue Fire, yep, yep and yep. Truely one of the best rides in the world, Mack with their first attempt captured everything a launch coaster should be and easily left their competitiors in their dust. On my rides I couldn't find a single fault and it turns out neither could you. Agreed with you on Silver-Star. it's a very odd rollercoaster and totally at odds with the rest of Europa Park and yet somehow completely fits in at the same time. Euro-Mir is class every step of the way, wonderful ride.I actually think Euro-Sat is better then Space Mountain (WDW) to be honest. Euro-Sat just feels far more out of control then the American counter-part and I love the funky little trains on Sat. Both are excellent rides though. I don't really like Poseidon or Matterhorn blitz really. Aside from some funky parts, the rides feel a bit to tame and painful to me. That being said Poseidon does the coaster part far better then Journey to Atlantis.Awaiting part two, can't wait.

    Someones message on Twitter to Piers Morgan@piersmorgan I'd like to regulate your face. With a train. #bbcqt
  5. I've just re-read the letter and my faith has sort of been restored that maybe Merlin can pull the situation around at Alton Towers. Whilst I never thought the situation was as bad as Towers Times Forum was making out, I did feel that the wheels were not as tight as they should have been. One of my biggest.. reliefs I guess you could say, is that AT management know how important families are to the parks success. If you don't attract them back, you lose a lot of income and interest.. I'll be interested to see what direction the 2012 and 2013 rides go in.. and how high.
  6. One time Nemesis had them on but they weren't fastened properly so as the train went over the first corkscrew... well lets be glad no one was injured

    Music

    Good song, she has such a great voice.
  8. I've noticed that for me, the best rides in the world are the ones that have the widest target audiences. Euro-Mir, Dragons Fury, Splash Mountain are all rides geared at families and yet are the best at creating smiles and laughs. Granted when I was 13 years old and a budding coaster boy it was rides like Nemesis and Colossus that got me interested. But 10 years later it's rides that capture my imagination that are favourable.So Question 2) Do you prefer thrill rides or experience rides?Are the two mutually exclusive? Do you like a ride regardless of its aims?
  9. I like your mix of rides ScunnyAdz. Things like The Ultimate and Jubilee Odyssey rarely get mentioned when it comes to rides so its nice to see every ride has someone who is a fan
  10. The only Maurer I outright dispise is G Force. So technically Maurer have a better hit rate then Intamin. Ain't even mad.
  11. Storm Surge must come from the same cloth as any Maurer ride. Guests like it but the thing is just technologically crap.
  12. I like it, clearly people do get lost in the hotels otherwise they wouldn't bother with a map.
  13. Are you going then?I've no problem with them experimenting, I just think they are horible people for discriminationg the older generation
  14. I'd go but apparently people in employment and with money to spend aren't invited.Yeah, cheers for that one Thorpe.
  15. That fastrack queue scares me. Thorpe are like the ultimate masters of manipulation to be honest, they've managed to make fastrack irresistable to paying guests. All the credit to them for it as well. No wonder I haven't been for ages. Thanks for the report Josh, looks like you had a good day to.
  16. See, I don't have a problem with that because even if they move up it's not as if you're going to get on the ride faster.
  17. Same with all theme parks really.

    You're having a laugh, over zealous moderating indeed.

  20. Some very beautiful shots there again, fantastic camera you must have, but a camera is only as good as the person taking the photos.Agree with you on Chessington, despite being a small park it has so many nice areas of greenery. One thing you highlighted (which I'm glad you did) is Dragon Falls. In the summer that is the most beautiful ride of any Merlin park, somehow the greenery and flowers really make it stunning to look at.
  21. European MontuParc Asterix's new rollercoaster takes shape. I've renamed it EU Montu as a consequence.
  22. I voted for Hungarian Hungtail. I just really liked the dragon as it seemed very different to the other Inverters I've done around the world. Second could be Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit but that could be because we literally walked straight onto it. If I had queued an hour, I may not have put that second. It's very hard to properly judge though as we didn't queue for any of Universal Orlandos rollercoasters.. and we weren't going to queue 60 minutes for Hippogriff.
  23. I am sure the majority of cyclists are responsible, road safe abiding citizens who follow the highway code and never put themselves and others in danger.So why do I never meet any. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDAYkdlKEGI&NR=1 So many times in London, I am crossing a road at a pelican crossing and a cyclist comes right at you as he has gone straight through the red light. And they have the audacity to shout expletives at me for being in the road. Erm, you idiot, it's how traffic lights and crossings work, you douche bag.
